The purpose of keying the flywheel with the shaft is to keep it spinning at the same rate as the shaft, and also to have the magnets on the flywheel lined up correctly with the strokes of the engine so that the spark plug will produce a spark at the very top of the compression stroke and in turn will cause the combustion stroke to take place.

What is a keyed shaft?
A keyed shaft or Keyway is method, based on a machined keyway in shaft, to attach something to the shaft and associated bore. A fitted key is inserted into a slot that is machined into the shaft. Although a machined keyway does result in a weaker shaft, it has it's applications. As in a lawn mower engine shaft. Theoretically the key will give way and save the shaft if you hit something with the blade. The negatives of a keyed shaft are that it can be deformed over time and result is a loose drive.

What is a clutch shaft?
If you are asking what a clutch shaft is related to the installation of a clutch, it is a plastic alignment shaft that is used to line the clutch disc up with the pilot bearing in the flywheel, so that when you install the transmission the transmission input shaft will slide thru the clutch splines and into the pilot bearing in the flywheel with relative ease. They are a must for any clutch installation!

What is the function of a flywheel?
A flywheel is a heavy metal wheel attached to a drive shaft, having most of its weight concentrated at the circumference. Such a wheel resists changes in speed and helps steady the rotation of the shaft where a power source such as a piston engine exerts an uneven torque on the shaft or where the load is intermittent, as in piston pumps or punches. By slowly increasing the speed of a flywheel a small motor can store up energy that, if released in a short time, enables the motor to perform a function for which it is ordinarily too small. The flywheel was developed by James Watt in his work on the steam engine.
